Definately a fun review. I've certaily become tired of hearing how Dodge can't compete with Toyota. It's nice to hear a different tune for a change.

The Avenger also got a good review in the local paper here a few weeks ago...........

Overall good review. I'm also tired of hearing the immediate dismissal of some manyother outlets. The fact is the Avenger is a dramatic improvement over the Stratus and it deserves credit for that. The pressloves the Fusionbecause it was built by Mazda and quite frankly I don't see what the Fusion has that theAvenger doesn't (besidesthe 5-speed manual and auto on the I4 model). The 3.5L will spin circles around the Duratech even if it has VVT. It may not be best in class, but it certainly is a worthy opponent.

All the new Avenger needs now is an SRT-4 or SRT-6 model. I'm sure a coupe version would sell reasonably well too.

Oh yeah, and sell them in Canada!!!

I'd like to see an SRT-6 myself. Only a more powerful V6 will be able to compete against the Altima & Camry.

Both posted in the Avenger section.

What's funny is the first review ever posted here by a biased source. Haters. lol Since that, it's been nothing but good reviews. I know this thing will be a success.

I'm loving the interior in the Avenger, I think Dodge hit the mark! I think It's a very well done car and should prove the same to the buyer.
